For Students and Schools That Train HCAs — The Real Routine

I want to leave this here for students and for the schools that train them, so they understand what the job is really like.

The profession is HCA.

To those who think they can do an inadequate job and not be reported:
if you end up on the same shift as me, I only wish you good luck !!

I will NEVER sign your recommendation if you don't demonstrate real LOVE and genuine respect for human beings.

Caring for an elderly person requires far more than a book and the tests we take in school.
I guarantee you: you will not have time to fold a towel eight times or less...
Many times, your feet will be used as a toilet,
your shoulders as a punching bag ( not only your shoulders )....

You will be mistaken for a good son, a best friend,
or a terrible person.
You will be remembered and forgotten many times
within a single shift.

You will work alongside snakes, people who hug you and smile, while waiting for the chance to bite you
and take your place in the seniority ladder.

You will realize that dentures do not clean themselves overnight.
You will arrive for the morning shift and find them filthy,
You will see shampoo bottles filled with “water,”
cookies in drawers harder than asphalt
or moldy, because hardly anyone checks.

Dirty fingernails, and no, it’s not from peanut butter.

And this is only part of it.

Prepare your emotions as well.
When you truly dedicate yourself, love and affection become part of your routine.
And that means that every time they pass away,
a piece of you goes with them.

What has exhausted me the most
is dealing with students who are only interested in immigration paperwork.

It hurts to think that someone’s father or mother
could end up in the hands of one of these students
who walk back and forth showing no interest in learning, who don’t even know how to use the correct spoon to feed a resident without putting them at risk of choking.

This is not just a lack of training, It is a lack of humanity.

Lundar Beach Provincial Park é um parque provincial. Lake Manitoba, aguas normalmente calmas e super raso ( tirando epoca que a beira f**a cheia de algas, que acaba sendo meio nojento ... Pulando isso è um lugar muito legal para familia com crianças ) È bem tranquilo.

Para banho, aceita moedas de $1,00 ou $2,00

Para quem tem trailer, tem alguns spots com energia elétrica ( infelizmente nao tem full service ). Tambem nao tem loja para comprar nada e quase nao funciona sinal de telefone lol... paz para alguns, caos para outros hahahha...
